Chapter 127: Taking Over Undying Mountain, the Black Tortoise Undying Medicine

In the deepest part of Undying Mountain lies a simple and leisurely peach orchard, like a secluded utopia, bringing a touch of tranquility and nature.

A few simple thatched huts stand in the peach orchard, resembling an ordinary farmstead.

It is hard to imagine that Undying Mountain, one of the Seven Forbidden Zones of Life in the Eastern Wasteland, would have such a tranquil and harmonious scene at its deepest part.

After arriving here, Nüwa's gaze shifted slightly to an old man standing before the thatched hut.

This old man is precisely the other remaining supreme one of Undying Mountain, but he is already so old that he is on the verge of dissolving his Dao, his primordial spirit about to extinguish.

Who would have thought that, inside the world-renowned Undying Mountain, one of the Eastern Wasteland's Seven Forbidden Zones of Life, only two self-sealed supremes remain, and one of them is about to run out of fuel and wane.

One can only say that the Void Great Emperor and the Holy Body lineage are truly fierce, having seized Undying Mountain and beaten it severely, practically exhausting the self-sealed supremes within.

In the original work, Ye Fan, as an Ancient Holy Body and also a son-in-law of the Void Great Emperor lineage, finally pacified Undying Mountain, which in a sense puts an end to this grudge.

Before the thatched hut.

Seeing Nüwa's figure and sensing her profound, unfathomable aura, the old man lightly sighed and said, 'Fellow cultivators of this world have all calculated that the path to immortality will open in this lifetime, and they have willingly sealed themselves at any cost, but we never expected that Fellow Cultivator Nüwa would actually walk a great Dao path to immortality amidst the mortal realm, and have reached your present level.'

Speaking, the old man let out a somewhat helpless and bitter laugh: 'Haha. Seeing fellow cultivators, I suddenly realize that our endless wait as self-sealed supremes has practically become a joke.'

At this point, his mind suddenly conjured the image of his former self, domineering the universe and full of vigor, and he also thought of his current state, about to run out of fuel and wane, a hint of desolation appearing on his face as he said, 'Fellow Cultivator Nüwa, now that your cultivation has accomplished, you have come to pacify Undying Mountain, this forbidden zone of life, haven't you?'

'No'

Before the old man's words had finished, Nüwa directly interrupted him.

Then, in the old man's astonished gaze, Nüwa pointed at a turtle in the peach orchard and lightly said, 'My main purpose for coming to Undying Mountain this time is for it.'

At this moment, a turtle slowly crawled in the peach orchard, its clumsy yet endearing appearance showing a vibrant green, as if containing endless vitality.

This turtle is precisely the Black Tortoise Undying Medicine, one of the Undying Divine Medicines, also called the Ten Thousand Years Divine Medicine, whose greatest effect is to prolong life.

After looking at the crawling turtle, the old man turned his gaze to Nüwa, his expression tinged with bewilderment as he asked, 'Fellow Cultivator Nüwa, is your purpose for coming to Undying Mountain really just for the Black Tortoise Undying Medicine?'

This was an answer the old man could never have imagined.

The Undying Divine Medicine allows a person to live another life; for a great emperor it refreshes one's state and extends life by ten thousand years, indeed counting as one of the most precious celestial treasures in this world.

However, as self-severed supremes, they have already taken the Undying Divine Medicine, so this stalk of it is actually of little use to them now.

Had they known that this fellow cultivator Nüwa, who surpasses the great emperors, came to Undying Mountain this time for this stalk of Black Tortoise Undying Medicine, they would have handed it over long ago.

Thinking of this, the old man's mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help feeling regret for Fellow Cultivator Shihuang, who died too pointlessly.

Glancing at the old man, Nüwa nodded with a calm expression and said, 'Originally that was the purpose, but now I think Undying Mountain is not bad; it can serve as my cultivation ground, and furthermore'

Saying this, a glint of cold light appeared in Nüwa's eyes as she pointedly said, 'Even if my original purpose was for the Black Tortoise Undying Medicine, but.'

Having said this, Nüwa stopped speaking, but the old man already understood the meaning of her unfinished words.

He shook his head and sighed softly, 'Alas, I have long warned Fellow Cultivator Shihuang not to overdo the slaughter, otherwise karma will entangle and retribution will surely come—too bad he wouldn't listen!'

Hearing the old man's words, Nüwa glanced at him and said lightly, 'Although I have chosen Undying Mountain as my cultivation ground, you fellow cultivator may continue to stay in Undying Mountain.'

Nüwa could see that this old man before her is not of the same kind as the previous Shihuang; he does not carry so much resentment.

Moreover, he is already at the point of running out of fuel and waning, unable to last much longer, and she does not mind letting him remain here, giving him the dignity of a supreme.

Hearing Nüwa's words, the old man slightly relaxed his breath and hastily clasped his hands, saying, 'Then many thanks, Fellow Cultivator Nüwa.'

The reason the Seven Forbidden Zones of Life in the Eastern Wasteland have become the self-sealed retreats of self-severed great emperors is that the environment and laws within these zones are special, completely different from the outer universe, bringing great benefits to those supremes whose lifespans are nearing their end.

And as an extradimensional divine mountain, Undying Mountain's laws are even more beneficial to the Holy Spirit lineage; this is also why the old man and Shihuang, such Holy Spirit cultivators who have attained the Dao, chose to self-seal here.

Although he is already near the point of running out of fuel and waning, the old man also does not simply wish to go straight to death.

If he could continue to stay here, relying on Undying Mountain's environment and laws, he might still be able to endure for a while to see what the true path to immortality really is.

Although he himself has no hope of stepping onto the path to immortality, the countless ages of waiting have made the path to immortality his obsession.

Sensing the old man's spiritual fluctuation, Nüwa glanced at him, said nothing more, but turned her gaze to the clumsy, endearing green turtle in the peach orchard and gently beckoned with her hand.

In the next moment, that turtle-shaped Black Tortoise Undying Medicine flew straight into her hand.

It seemed to sense the terrifying presence of the empress before it; the Black Tortoise Undying Medicine showed no sign of struggle, but was unusually obedient, like a lovable turtle pet.

After observing it for a moment, a hint of satisfaction appeared in Nüwa's eyes; she then looked toward the distance and whispered, 'Elder brother.'

In the outside world.

In the doubtful gazes of the supremes of the various forbidden zones of life, the yin-yang taiji diagram formed by the dragon-snake illusion above Undying Mountain gradually turned illusory.

Gradually, the heavenly emperor array that enveloped Undying Mountain also hid within the void, with pattern after pattern of Dao merging into the surrounding mountain ranges, leaving only a faintly discernible flow of qi, letting people understand how terrifying this place is.

However, although the emperor array has been concealed, Undying Mountain, as a forbidden zone of life, also automatically obscures the heavenly secrets, preventing the other supremes of the forbidden zones from seeing clearly what is inside.

Strands of extremely powerful divine sense encircle Undying Mountain, constantly communicating, yet not a single strand dares to truly enter it.

As former emperors who once united with the Heavenly Heart seal and merged with the myriad Dao of the cosmos, even after self-severing, their spiritual perception has reached the extreme; although they are unclear about what exactly has changed inside Undying Mountain, they vaguely feel that Undying Mountain is now far more dangerous than before.

Although they are curious about the situation inside Undying Mountain, yet none of the many supremes are willing to risk an attempt to probe it.

From the moment these supremes chose to self-sever, their hearts held only the pursuit of the path to immortality.

By now, the path to immortality deduced by many supremes is about to open; even if they are still curious in their hearts, they have temporarily suppressed the thought of emerging into the world.

After an unknown amount of time, the strands of divine sense dispersed, and Undying Mountain seemed to have regained its calm.

However, within the various forbidden zones of life, great changes are secretly occurring due to the movements of Undying Mountain.

Now the Northern Dipper is like the calm before a storm, waiting only for the path to immortality to open, perhaps then it will truly erupt.

Eastern Wasteland, outside the Jade Pool.

After an unknown period, everyone finally came to their senses from the terrifying, oppressive feeling as if the world were ending, and for a moment their hearts still trembled.

Only when they saw that dark-robed figure not far away did they finally relax their breath slightly.

Even if the sky falls, there's a tall guy to hold it up!

With this Feng family elder who can casually slay a holy person present, even if something changes occur, everyone should have nothing to worry about.

At the same time, seeing this Feng family elder wearing an ancient and heavy dragon stele on his head, feeling the supreme Dao power contained within, everyone's expressions involuntarily shifted again.

Ultimate Dao Imperial Weapon!

The Feng family actually also possesses its own Ultimate Dao Imperial Weapon!

Thinking of this, the many Holy Lords' regard for the Wind Clan rose another level.

Among the crowd, Ye Fan felt no emotional fluctuation upon seeing the Fuxi Dragon Stele; he had long known that the Fuxi Human Ancestor possessed two Extreme Dao Imperial Weapons for protection.

Feeling that heaven and earth had returned to normal, Ye Fan stepped forward and asked curiously, "Senior, what just happened?"

Hearing Ye Fan's words, the others also subconsciously focused their attention, turning their gazes toward him.

Feng Yi withdrew his gaze, glanced at Ye Fan, and said casually, "It's merely the aftermath of two experts clashing; it's nothing major, and it's already over."

'The aftermath of experts clashing'

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, their eyes showing disbelief.

That terrifying pressure, like the end of the world just now, was actually the aftermath of two experts clashing?

Just how fearsome must the clash of experts be to produce such a terrifying aftermath?

Countless thoughts turned in their minds, and a strong curiosity arose in everyone's hearts.

However, seeing that the Wind Clan's Sage had no intention of explaining, everyone could only suppress this curiosity deep inside, daring not to say more.

Feng Yi glanced at the many Holy Lords around him, his expression calm, and said, "Although the Primordial Myriad Races will soon be born, we humans are the true masters of the entire universe, with countless experts, far beyond what the Primordial Myriad Races can compare to, so you need not worry too much about the Primordial Myriad Races."

Saying this, Feng Yi seemed to think of something, a flash of cold light in his eyes, and he said pointedly, "Furthermore, I hope you all do not forget your stance as humans!"

As his words fell, a icy killing intent swept over, making everyone's hearts tremble.

Especially those Holy Lords with ties to the Primordial Royal Clan, their minds flashed with the scene just now of numerous ancient clans, including the Ancient King, turning to ash, and they broke out in cold sweat.

Without the slightest hesitation, the many Holy Lords hastily said respectfully, "We will keep the Sage's admonition in mind!"

"Hmm."

After warning everyone, Feng Yi casually waved his hand and said, "Alright, the matter is settled; you may all disperse."

As his words fell, Feng Yi glanced at Ye Fan and said softly, "Ye Fan, come with me; I have some matters to discuss with you."

"Yes, Senior."

Upon hearing the words of the Fuxi Human Ancestor before him, Ye Fan's eyes flashed with a hint of joy, and he hurriedly followed the figure.

Beside him, the Black Emperor, seeing this, hesitated not at all, instantly carrying Xiao Nannan and keeping pace with Ye Fan's steps.

Although the Fuxi Great Emperor had not ordered it to follow, it now considered itself temporarily able to act as the master of this kid Ye Fan, and naturally followed along with him.

Seeing this, the eyes of the many Holy Lords flashed with a hint of envy and jealousy, envying the good fortune of this Holy Body.

However, they also dared not say more, and after exchanging a glance, they all dispersed one after another.

They needed to hurry back with the news of the imminent emergence of the Primordial Myriad Races, as well as today's events at the Jade Pool.

With the conclusion of the Jade Pool Grand Gathering, the events that occurred here spread throughout the Eastern Wasteland, and even to the Northern Dipper.

The Ancient Clan has appeared, and a Primordial King comparable to a Sage has shown up outside the Jade Pool.

More importantly, a supremely powerful Sage has appeared in the Wind Clan of the Central Region, and with a wave of his hand he obliterated a Primordial King comparable to a Sage.

Upon this news being released, the Eastern Wasteland was shaken, and the Wind Clan of the Central Region instantly became the most renowned family in the entire Northern Dipper.

For a time, countless powers came knocking, hoping to befriend the Wind Clan.
